This slower digestive process, called reduced gastric emptying, can affect when and how your body absorbs oral medications and fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K
Research suggests that the healthy bacteria in your gut might even help with weight management on their own
Safety and Side Effects Common Side Effects Gastrointestinal upset (vomiting, diarrhea) Decreased appetite Mild hypoglycemia in diabetic animals Serious Risks Pancreatitis (rare) Allergic reactions Injection site reactions Precautions Use with caution in animals with a history of pancreatitis Avoid in pregnant or lactating animals unless approved Always use under veterinary supervision Future Perspectives and Research The promising results seen in early trials suggest that Semaglutide could become a mainstay in veterinary weight management and diabetes treatment
This reduced activity, combined with a potentially slower metabolism that can occur with persistent nutrient deficiencies, could indirectly contribute to weight gain over time
